Activity #273: (Heart) someone or something

by Whitney

in Crafty, Month 5

Baby Mack hearts his daddy Make your partner feel loved by using your baby’s chest as advertising space.

Put an “I love” message on a onesie or bib and take a picture of the baby wearing it. This baby is rocking the straightforward message to daddy. I myself prefer a more subtle tribute to my husband with a projection of his hobbies or interests on the kid. “I (heart) downloading music for free” or “I (heart) burritos”.

I’ve thought of a few ways of achieving this:

Fern and Baby Mack made this great onesie including a little homemade caricature of daddy. Well done!

I took this idea and decorated a onesie (with help from my 5 month old son, Mack) with permanent markers. When my husband got home I told him Mack had a surprise for him. The onesie said “I ‘heart’ Daddy” on it, complete with a cartoon of Daddy. I’m not artsie WHATSOEVER, but this was really easy.
I love your site! Keep it up.

Um, will someone please tell my husband to make or buy an “I Love Mom” SOMETHING for my son to wear this month? I stood in the Gap one day and almost bought I heart Mom pj’s, but then I had a selfless moment and bought the I heart Dad ones. So I’m waiting for him to return the favor. :)
